Easy

The 14th hole at Turtle Bay Resort's Fazio course presents a tantalizing risk-versus-reward opportunity at just 277 yards. This short par 4 tempts longer hitters to take aim at the small green, while the lack of significant hazards creates a deceptively simple appearance that can lure golfers into aggressive play. The straight layout offers multiple strategic options - conservative players can lay up with a mid-iron, leaving a comfortable wedge approach, while bold golfers may attempt to drive the green. The compact putting surface demands precision on approach shots, as anything long or short of this small target can leave challenging recovery shots. This hole exemplifies strategic golf design at its finest.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 277-yard par 4 requires precise course management as there is no fairway at the 200-yard mark - you must either lay up short or carry further to reach the 35-yard wide fairway at 250 yards.

approach

If you successfully reach the fairway at 250 yards, you'll have just 27 yards remaining to a generous 4,265 square foot green - a perfect wedge distance for most players.

hazard warning

Three bunkers guard the green area at 355, 372, and 353 yards from the tee - these won't affect your approach shots but indicate the green complex is well-defended.

green

The green measures 22 yards by 37 yards, providing a substantial target that's deeper than it is wide - favor the center of this generous putting surface.

tee shot

With no landing zone immediately from the tee, consider hitting a controlled shot to around 180-190 yards to set up a comfortable approach, rather than attempting the risky carry to 250 yards.
